Fledgling Fyora ProApocalyptic Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I hope I'm not breaching this forum's etiquette by creating a new thread as my first post, but I've searched the web and this forum and I can't find an answer. Basicallly, I just want to know if leveling "Return Life" up does anything. I found the lvl 3 tome in Gremlin's gold, but haven't noticed any difference in effect. I have a suspicion that, since the tome is found in a gremlin cave, upgrading the spell may just be a joke and there is no actual effect.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I think back in the Exile version it made a difference with different types of deaths, but not any more. The only use is to get all the priest spells at level 3 for a medal. Welcome to Spiderweb Software. Please leave your sanity at the door. The games make sense then.

Ineffable Wingbolt Mosquito---Slayer Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yep there is no bonus for increasing it. Edit:-Sniped again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yeah, the fact that you can raise Return Life past level 1 at all is kind of a design oversight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora ProApocalyptic Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks! I suspected that was the case, but I just needed to make sure. You know, for the sake of my own peace of mind. (Loving the game, by the way! I played all the exile/avernum demos when I was a kid- this is the first time I've been able to see the whole world!)

Garrulous Glaahk ArchMage81 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Was about to ask the same question. I do say there shoul;d be a difference, maybe you also get healed or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Rya.Reisender Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 You won't actually need it for the medal. I think there are 20 spells and you only need to max 16 of them for the medal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 In Exile the spell levels I think made a difference depending on how you died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 In Exile there weren't spell levels for individual spells. Every spell was fixed at a particular level based on the Mage Spells or Priest Spells requirement to cast it. Higher-level spells tended to be more expensive and powerful, but not always.

Garrulous Glaahk S M Adventurer Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yeah, in the first Avernum trilogy and BoA Return Life would be able to revive characters who died in a certain way depending on the spell level. Level 1 only revives characters that are turned to stone, Level 2 revives dead characters, and Level 3 revives characters that were turned to dust. Also, the spell requires a Balm of Life.
